Image transfers.

I finished two projects today.





This vintage clover botanical came from the wonderful Graphics Fairy.

The frame was previously gold (ew, I really hate gold these days) so I painted it white. I covered a board with a fabric that is a textured woven cotton blend, then transferred the image onto pure unbleached cotton with Citra Solv. I covered a smaller board with the image and then glued crocheted cotton lace around the boarder.

Love how it turned out! It hangs in my insanely loverly guest room which I used to read in last night when I couldn't sleep and my God, it's so peaceful and cozy and girly and wonderful in there and I feel so grateful that I was able to refinish that whole room for fifty dollars.



This is a grocery store plastic bag and vegetable bag holder. My other half calls it a bag-bag. The vintage balsamic vinegar ad comes once more from The Graphic Fairy. We don't use many of these type of environmentally unfriendly bags anymore but they fit perfectly in my kitchen garbage can and they're free and we'd be buying plastic liners anyway so whatever.

Since I am insanely organized, I stuff the vegetable bags at the top, and the grocery store bags at the bottom so there's no putzing around to find the kind I need.
